Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) is in a statistical dead heat with Democrat incumbent Gov. Kathy Hochul in a potential 2026 gubernatorial matchup, according to a new poll obtained by the New York Post. The survey, conducted by co/efficient, shows Hochul at 43% support and Stefanik at 42%, with 15% of likely voters still undecided.
New York Governor Kathy Hochul’s plan to increase payroll taxes to fund the Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s (MTA) $68 billion capital plan has ignited fierce opposition from business leaders, who warn it could drive companies out of the state and burden workers.
